On Tuesday, Spurrier reached an agreement with former Mississippi State offensive coordinator Woody McCorvey to come in and coach receivers. McCorvey, who will coach in the bowl game for South Carolina, is a veteran coach with strong recruiting ties throughout the southeast. This is his second stint at South Carolina. He’s also coached at Alabama, Clemson and Tennessee.

You would think that the title “former Mississippi State offensive coordinator” would be the kiss of death for a guy whose offenses finished eleventh, twelfth, eleventh, twelfth and tenth in the SEC in total offense during his tenure, but it seems you’d be wrong. Maybe Spurrier will take a page out of George Costanza’s playbook and do the opposite of what McCorvey advises. Or maybe their agreement is that McCorvey is paying Spurrier to have a place on the staff.

And Spurrier may need to save the money to pay for a new defensive coordinator if Chris Low’s speculation about the coach to replace Croom at MSU plays out. How ironic would that be?

While this doesn’t explain everything that’s happened this year, as a Dawg fan, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m a little jealous about it.

The Weis abides. And Fiutak writes one of the most embarrassing pieces in the history of college football punditry about it. The topper: if Weis were better looking, he’d be cut more slack right now. Maybe the Irish should hire Lane Kiffin’s wife.

Mack Brown may be looking ultimately for some AP validation when the dust settles. Gary Danielson thinks the Big XII should have just circumvented the rules and let Oklahoma and Texas face off again in its championship game.
